Red Simpson - Jackknife lyrics

Artist: Red Simpson

album: Truck Drivin' Fool


I left Seattle and I was runnin' late
It was rainin' rainin' rainin' cats and dogs
Well that road was slick and full of little tricks
Like a walkin' on a slick hickory log
I had five axles in a while Mustang
I was pullin' seventy thousands on behind
As I rolled her out of town to turn Fort Lynn around
I built a fire and I let her unwind
Blindin' lights well rainy nights jack knife
[ Guitar ]
Well I made that mountain went over the top
And I had her rolled out all the way
I went into a kerb that took a lotta nerve
As I felt that mountain sway
As that tandem shuttered then settled on down
I heard an airhold snap
Well there was no doubt I had to write her on out
Or let her jack knife in my lap
Blindin' lights well rainy nights jack knife
[ Guitar ]
There's a lot of operators who can tell you how
A runaway rig can kill
So I said me a prayer and then I hit the air
And let her jack knife off of that hill
Well I crawled out of that pile of junk
Then I walked away with a smile
Yeah I got out with my life but a mean jack knife
Put me a walkin' for a while
Blindin' lights well rainy nights jack knife
